The escape was light.
Just because I destroyed the 'nest' didn't mean that convenient things like the Darks would grow up or collapse into ashes. We present in the subspace with [subspace travel (move-outerplane)], we could never be found by them, and back to the ground.
Still, we knew there were numerous dark ghosts in the underground passage, so we didn't forget to crush the entire passage with [meteorite (metheo)], which was left for once. Speaking of not forgetting, the injured Gillion is also recovering from [Complete Treatment (Complete Recovery)] of course.
Um, something akin to the Magic Gate that showed itself at the moment when the 'nest' collapsed.
Is a demon someone's magic is creating? But in the first place, the magic gates and magic settings are the product of our delusions.... does it have to do with this world (Sedia) and the transcendent existence of the original world called 'Him' or 'The Watchman'? That means it concerns me, too. Again, you have to be careful with your future design only when it comes to the dark.
Calvinella's knights boiled greatly when we reported on the upside of what was going on at the fort (naturally we lay low about the Magic Gate).
Arnoggia gave the knights precise instructions to shrink the siege net and take over the surviving demons.
Although the operation to lice the mountains with fortifications and the surrounding forests took about five days, it managed to sweep the dark. Of course, I can't be 100% sure without discussion, but it means garrison and vigilance of knights in the fort for a while. "This mission will be accomplished by throwing the Sardish family's personal belongings as a duty of the Calvinella Knights," Arnoggia affirmed.
It should be noted that the treatment of me by the knights who heard the upside of things was polite to the level this one fears. So much so that we have been allowed to use the most comfortable room of the fort (the private room of the previous jergle…), apart from Arnoggia, for the past five days.
Six days after we destroyed the 'nest', we were in the village of Yule.
He is on his way back to Whitesword Castle, leaving no more knights than Deputy Gunnar who will continue to monitor him at the fort.
In the village of Yule, details had already been known, ranging from the emergence of the dark to the dispatch of the Knights of Calvinera and the destruction of the 'nest', with a grand feast.
A large bonfire is lit in the village's central square, where the village chief liberates the barn to serve liquor and food.
The men drank painfully with jocks raised by knights, villagers and dwarves, and the women dressed and danced. The chorus of the villagers' simple farming songs, the Dwarf medal songs and the young people's love songs echo cheerfully.
... from such a pleasant atmosphere I was in a clearly blocked space.
It is the mansion of Baron Calvanella, Lord of the village of Yule, its dining room.
In the first place, it was not good that it had been passed on to the villagers, including the eviction of the bandits from the fort and the showcasing of meteorites in the Knights.
I got words of gratitude and praise that I couldn't compare to when I had helped Maura. But the villagers' attitude was clearly harder than then. She repeatedly apologized in tears with pale faces when she zeroed booze on my robe, such as the general of the Iron Hot Knight Pavilion. Of course, I managed to forgive myself without getting angry, but I can't forget the look I had on everyone's fears back then.
Sure, we got the position of the Great Wizard, but that was synonymous with being subject to fear from people.
Even though I have no choice because it is the result of my decision, I have to stop being a little stunned. There, Gillion and Rio's brothers and sisters called me.
"Mage. I hear you played a part in Gillion and Rio. Thank you."
It is Girland Calvanella, former Carbanella emperor, who calls me a nervous high voice, a man who was devastated by the Knights in a reckless operation 15 years ago and who was put down the seat of the Commander. A close look and a positive face is very similar to that of Rio Ria in one way or another.
Luxurious food on a luxurious table. Decorate the formatting. It was just a gorgeous dinner to look at, but my tension was getting lower and lower.
I am the only one surrounding the table in Girland, Gillion and Rio Lea. It is also good to see that Sedam and Crawla coldly declined Gillion's invitation.
"No, I'm a wizard..."
"But you're definitely the Gillion who named the biggest martial arts medal in the crusade! That's my son."
"Yes...... Magic... no thanks to Lord Margils"
It feels like this story doesn't make sense anymore. When I was a company employee in Japan (it hasn't been 10 days...), there were people like this once in a while... I thought of something similar when I first met Gillion.
"You saved my brother well, too, Rio! I'll compliment you."
"Ah... thank you, Father!
"Now you know a little bit about the Sardish traitors and the Knights, who deserve the legitimate captain of the Calvinella Knights!
If you were raised by this father, you'd know Gillion would be there... No, rather, he's still growing up straight.
Though we both seemed to know just how insane our father was. However, it still remained strong in my heart to see a happy grin when praised by my father.
The next day. We were returning to Whitesword Castle.
At the end of a single ceremony, such as the Argument Awards and the Victory Feast, you'll finally have time to take a breather.
I shrugged in the same room as before.
"Ha... What to do next..."
"What do you mean, what do you do?
Sedam and Crawla were still accompanying me. Sedham said he was going back to Lellis City with the party after this.
"Join me in the Sorcerer's Guild… No, I'd like you to visit."
Crawla said she decided to take me to the Sorcerer's Guild in Lellis City. Instead, almost from the beginning, he said that and my surveillance were the purpose. I, too, need to know more about magic.
"That's one option."
"What other options?
Whatever you say first, I need to know more about the dark. Just before I do, I want to make a copy of the spell document. Now I take care of it and put it in my backpack, but I don't want to lose this anymore and sweat cold....... Then, if possible, I want a residence for recreational hiding.
When I broke my finger and explained the proposed future action, the guide Sedam advised me.
"There are several ways to find out about the dark. First, look in the Great Library in the Kingdom of the North (Schrendal). Or the magician's guild headquarters. Connect around the Adventurer and Merchant guilds and you'll get some information from all over the place. Plus... it's a bit of a rush, but it looks good to check out the Grand Fortress of Rustland."
"The Grand Fortress of Rustland? It's not the Castle of the Necromancer now."
Baron Calvinella, who invited me last night. Is that the fortress that Girland failed to try to recapture? Sure, it means it was built for a showdown with the Dark One, so I guess there's some old Dark One material or something. Explore the formerly Great Fortress, transformed into a Necromancer's Nest? Exactly 'Dungeons & Braves'......
"I'd rather not have the dungeon for a while."
It's kind of like a last dungeon, as the name suggests. It'll be good after you crush the other options. At the very least, I don't want to go to that by myself after I find a squire or an escort or a buddy of mine on the same level or above as this one... anyway.
"Nevertheless, what do you mean by recreational hiding? You think you can hide yourself from the public?
Is it impossible after all......
Talking about things like that, he was summoned by the Knights Commander.
While he remembers his sense of vision, he turns to each other in his heavy private room.
"Again, thank you for your dedication."
"No, as an ally, as a wizard, naturally"
By way of example, Commander, the conversation continues for a while with a taste of the silk tea brewed from your hand.
"Gillion and Rio Lia seem to have worked as well. By the way, didn't Gillion change a bit by taking up his assignment with you?
"... somewhat"
As the Knights leader who wants to succeed his son (Arnoggia), I don't think that's funny.
"That's a character whose power is everything under the influence of his father. But with your unreasonable power, I seem to have changed my mind a little. At this rate, I want you to wear your calm as a knight."
"You think that's desirable for the Knights, too?
"Whatever. I want Arnoggia to compete as a grand knight and win the chair of the regiment leader."
So if the Gillion as it is now contends with Arnoggia, it could be a civil war? Shivering, I admired as I gazed at the face of a knight overlaid with an annual wheel. Do you want to grow and prevent civil unrest and compete on it, not banishing Kedamono-level gillions, not knights? Well, surely this old man is not just a schemer or a pro fool, he's a 'knight'.
"... if you had been Arnoggia's hindsight from the start, you wouldn't have to go around like this, would you?
My readings and so on yet, the old knight said away. This grandfather will live a long time.
"By the way."
The captain put the cup down and said. Is that what this is about?
"Actually, I have another favor for you. It's about the fort."
……
I see? I have no idea what you're trying to say, although I make you snort in the face.
"As you know very well, it was a bandit. Actually, a dozen years ago, it was a security fort owned by our Knights."
He said it had been abandoned by decreasing the number of dark outbreaks and decreasing the size of the Knights. Currently, knights, including Deputy Gunnar, are stationed for vigilance, but funding to maintain that strength is painful, he said.
Mm-hmm. I mean, maybe.
"Regardless, it's been a story since it was completely confirmed that there's no survival of the dark. I would like to offer you that fort as a residence."
